  1. “You eat sugar, or not even something as obvious as sugar, but bread, or crackers water. Oh, yes, yes. So basically, anything that falls into the family of a carbohydrate. So if the earth grows it, that's a carbohydrate. If it's a plant, it's a carbohydrate. Maybe that's a better way of describing it. And so it's going to have starches and sugars, which all is kind of falls into this family of carbohydrate, depending on how much starch or sugars that it has, then that will result in a bigger or smaller blood glucose or blood sugar response. But then if blood sugar is too high for too long, that becomes very harmful to the body. So insulin comes in and helps lower the blood glucose. And then having done its job, insulin comes back down.”

  2. “But for everybody else, we have beta cells in their releasing insulin when they need to. Now usually the main stimulus, the main reason the beta cell is releasing the insulin is because blood glucose levels go up.”

  3. “Oh, yeah, for sure. Insulin resistance is kind of a disorder that has two parts. It's like a coin with two sides that as much as we think of one side just because we hear the word insulin resistance, but there's another part to it that I need to, that is very important. So insulin, first of all, is a hormone that we make from the pancreas, a long kind of gland tucked underneath the stomach. And the pancreas is very busy organ. It makes a lot of different hormones. It makes hormones that come into the blood. It also makes enzymes that go into the intestines to help digest food. But among the hormones that are being released into the blood is insulin. So they don't make insulin anymore. That's why for a person with type 1 diabetes, insulin is a life-saving therapy. You're giving them what they're not making anymore.”

  4. “Essentially coming to the conclusion that something like hypertension, high blood pressure, which is the most common cardiovascular problem and the main contributor to heart disease, while insulin resistance is the main cause of hypertension. They call Alzheimer's disease type three diabetes or more accurately insulin resistance of the brain. Even the most common forms of diertility in men its erectile dysfunction, well, that's because of insulin resistance of the blood vessels. In women, the most common form of infertility is polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS. That's because of the insulin resistance affecting her ovaries and the ability to produce the proper sex hormones.”

  5. “Yeah, it's a little known problem called insulin resistance. In fact, when I first started this topic, I stumbled on one paper that documented how when fat tissue is growing it increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. That was a concept in the early 2000s that was really getting a lot of attention diabesity, this kind of dual epidemic of wherever we see obesity, we see more type 2 diabetes. In this manuscript outlined something that was to me a revelation at the time. It was so fascinating where when fat tissue is growing it starts releasing pro inflammatory proteins. And then that got me into this realm of understanding that other tissues of the body as they become insulin resistant, then you start to spread the chronic disease.”

  6. “My mission is to help people appreciate that much of chronic disease. We look at them as the siloed individual distinct disorders with totally distinct origins and yet much of them share a common core. It's as if their branches growing from the same tree, and the conventional clinical care will look at these branches and give someone a prescription for medication which is only going to prune the branch back a little bit. Never actually solving the problem. It can just grow right back. And so we can look at most of these chronic diseases that are killing us globally and then say, okay, there are in fact some simple lifestyle changes that can be implemented that will help reduce the risk of not only one or two, but all of the top killers from things like Alzheimer's disease to heart disease to type 2 diabetes.”

  7. “Well, because people may not know about the negative side effects. For example, 40% of the weight that people are losing on these drugs is coming from...”

  8. “Insulin is a hormone that affects literally every single cell of the body. But if those cells become insulin resistant, you start to spread the disease. For example, they call Alzheimer's insulin resistance of the brain. And even the most common forms of infertility erect out dysfunction and PCOS. Insulin resistance is a heavy contributor. Now, 88% of adults in the U.S. have some degree of insulin resistance, and people hear this and think America is just fat and metabolically sick. But we're not actually the worst country when it comes to this. And part of it is because of how different ethnicities store fad. And I'll come back to that. But there's two roads to insulin resistance. So there's the fast lane, and I could make you insulin resistant in six hours with either of these commentary things. But if I removed them, your resistance would go away just as quickly. Now, the slow lane, that's a problem. And there's certain lifestyle habits and problems with our diets that are massively contributing to slow insulin resistance. Now, thankfully, this can be resolved through four pillars, which are very simple.”

  9. “When we're looking at smoking versus vaping, vaping is probably worse. In terms of the damage to the airway and the insulin resistance that comes from it. But this gets worse because we know that insulin resistance is the core for most chronic diseases that are killing us when there's a handful of other lifestyle habits as contributing to it.”
